can you swap for another similar melee skill or it will brick some mechanic? i would love to try out a lacerate or reave with this build.
anyways i'm enjoying bladestorm too and the build is pretty solid.

Just swapped from bladestorm to lacerate just to test if the skill works correctly like in PoB but i think i need to swap close combat to multistrike if not i'm wrong.

Hey bro, I am starting this league witj your build, and made a small research:

For improving survivability we can take a socket above Herbalism, put there Thread of Hope, and take Phase Acrobatics(spell evasion).
Secondary, we can take both Iron Reflexes(convert evasion to armor) and Wind Dancer("If you haven't been hit recently, take 20% less damage")

This sounds really powerful, yeah?

I still don't understand why we need the "-mana cost" on chest and ring, until last week I was playing without any of these mods and I never had problem with my mana, enlighten lv3 was being enough.

Now I Bought this chest but I am seriously thinking about droping this for a explode+crit instead "-mana cost" bc that mod doesn't allow me to do anything different.

What do you think about this Aias?


Another doubt, I noticed in your boss fighting videos that you never place the banner on the ground, doesn't that decrease your chance of impale?

Can you actually play if you have enough mana for just one BS? I use enlighten lvl4 and I can only use BS once without the mana reduction stuff. If you can play like than then ok, use something else. I can't.

I say in the guide that placing the banner is the optimal choice. I never bother doing it though. I like to keep things simple, one button to attack, one to jump and one for damage boost (totem). If you're not bored of doing that then you should place it.

Thanks for answering.

Since the mana leech is quite good I don't have problem with having mana enough just for 1 BS, as long as I don't run out of targets to leech. I have 55 unreserved mana and without the "-15 mana cost" my BS cost 34. I was fine, so I will test the chest with explode later.

About the Banner, I need to place to reach 100% Impale chance because I still don't have the 25% impale chance Watcher's Eye(it costs 80ex), I just bought the budget version only with "Impales you inflict last 2 additional Hits while using Pride". Maybe when I get the most expensive I stop worry with dread banner.

Anyway, I am enjoying this build alot, even without the best gear I already killed Elder, Sirrus a8 and all shaper guardians. Looking foward to kill Shaper now.

Well if you can play with only one hit until you need to leech then you don't need any of the mana stuff. Although I still recommend the boot enchant.

That Watcher's eye has skyrocketed since I bought it. +2 impale is the right choice though. You can get some additional impale chance with the new alt quality gems. Check the gem section.

Lol, after Sirus 8 you wanna kill Shaper ? Go do Uber Elder.
